WinXP Pro Can't See/Access Wireless WG PC
Thank you Robert for your quick reply. Sorry I haven't
responded to you much earlier but I was out of the office. Yes, 266 Win98 can ping XP, and XP can ping 266 Win98. I actually made a mistake in my initial posting: "The WinXP Pro PC can See 266 Win98SE but it cannot Access it in any way". The "Browser Service" is Started (and has been since the Dell was purchased) and it is set on Automatic. If this is not what you meant by "Master Browser" then please let me know. I did go to the link you provided and unless I misunderstood what it was saying, it was related to the "Browser Service". Again, let me know if I am incorrect. Thank you very much Robert. I will be available for quick responses to new Replies. Len Paryl -----Original Message----- can 266 win98 and xp ping each other. also check the master browser.

Robert Lin, CNE & MCSE Windows & Network Support, Tips and FAQs on http://www25.brinkster.com/ChicagoTech This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties. "Len Paryl" wrote in message ... This is an office environment with three PCs. Two of the PCs run Win98SE, are brand-x PCs, both have 32MB RAM, one is 166MHz, and the other is 266 MHz. The third PC is a New Dell with WinXP Pro (Service Pack 1), 256MB RAM, and a 2.0 GHz processor. There are three rooms in this office suite but only two have been pre-wired with RJ45 cable runs to wall jacks. In the wire closet the RJ45 cables are connected to a CISCO 1538 Micro Hub which is Uplinked to a CISCO Router (10/100 switch) that provides Broadband Internet Access. I had to go with a wireless solution for the third computer. Put a LinkSys Wireless PCI Card in the 266 MHz PC and connected a LinkSys (WAP11) Wireless Access Point to a Port on the CISCO 1538 Hub. The three computer Network is a Peer-to-Peer Workgroup (all have been set with the same workgroup name). The Problem: The 166MHz Win98SE PC can See (Network Neighborhood) and Access the other two computers (266MHz Win98SE wireless and the Dell XP Pro). The 266MHz Win98SE Wireless PC Cannot See the Dell (XP Pro) but can Access it (mapped drive, etc) and can See and Access the 166MHz Win98SE PC. The Dell (XP Pro) Cannot See or Access the 266MHz Win98SE Wireless PC but can See and Access the 166MHz Win98SE PC. Looks like Windows XP Professional has problems communicating across a wireless network. Anyone know about this problem and have a solution for it? Thank you very much. . |

WinXP Pro Can't See/Access Wireless WG PC
quoted from http://www25.brinkster.com/ChicagoTech
.... is not accessible Message: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The semaphore timeout period has expired." Resolutions: 1) make sure no any firewall running. 2) make sure you have created the same workgroup, and the same username on w2k/xp for logging on a remote computer. 3) check user's rights. 4) you may want to enable guest account on w2k/xp. 5) if you are using simple file sharing, you may try to disable it and re-share the drive manually. 6) if it is mixed OS (win98, NT, ME and W2K/XP) network, enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. 7) make sure the Computer Browser service is started if all computers are w2k/xp. 8) stop Computer Browser service on wwin9x, ME and NT if this is a mixed OS network. 9) cache credential by using net use \\computername\share /user:username command (it is better to have the username logon shared computer). 10) if you have tried enabling netbios over tcp/ip but doesn't work, you may try to load netbeui (loading netbeui may slow your network). 11) Make sure the server service is running. 12) Still need help, contact consultant boblin20@hotmail at http://www25.brinkster.com/ChicagoTech for the tech support.
